While the former won awards for his show 'Parts Unknown', the producer nabbed five awards for 'Jesus Christ Superstar Live!'.

AceShowbiz - Late TV chef and traveller Anthony Bourdain and producer Craig Zadan were remembered at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday night, September 09 with top awards.

Bourdain's CNN series, "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown", and Zadan's final live musical "Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert" picked up six and five wins, respectively, including the top prizes in their categories.

Bourdain and Zadan's deaths bookended the summer.

The producer was remembered every time a representative for "Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert" took the stage to collect an award.

The live musical telecast, based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway hit, landed Outstanding Production Design For a Variety Special, Outstanding Sound Mixing For a Variety Series or Special, Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control For a Limited Series, Movie or Special, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction For a Variety Special, and Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

Upon winning Outstanding Lighting Design, Lighting Designer Al Gurdon said, "I want to dedicate this award to Craig Zadan. He will be sadly missed by all of us. I only got to work with him once, but it was a privilege."

Zadan's producing partner, Neil Meron, later added, "This is for Craig... tonight he achieves his goal. Craig would have loved this."

Sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" was the big winner on Sunday night, picking up seven awards from its 21 nominations, including multiple wins for the episode hosted by Donald Glover.
